Most 12volt winches are not rated as hoists. None of them are rated for
overhead use either as many don't have proper braking or spools rated
for it.

Correct...your $200 winch is NOT a hoist.

People have died because they haven't understood the difference.

The law of gravity applies to everyone...and doesn't give a damn if
you get killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
